gta 6 radio should prioritize new artists over vice city nostalgia

Vice City nostalgia is powerful enough to swallow the entire soundtrack. I do not want every major station designed to remind forty-year-olds of a game from 2002. Modern Vice City needs music that belongs to Jason and Lucia's world, including artists most players have not already heard in five movie trailers. Keep one station for eighties nostalgia. Make the rest aggressive, regional and current. Let the soundtrack become nostalgic later because people discovered it inside GTA 6. The older games were good at turning songs into memories. They did not become iconic by only replaying memories that already existed. A safe soundtrack full of universally recognized hits would be expensive wallpaper.

one eighties station is enough. the jokes and hosts should connect the eras more than the playlist does

new songs become classics because a mission forces you to hear them while everything goes wrong

people will demand nostalgia and then complain the soundtrack feels like a playlist made by an algorithm
